these individuals, you’ve just found your solution. The Mentor Bank, a mentoring service
anchored on a technology platform, provides access to a large pool of experienced leaders
ready to guide your employees to achieve better results.
The Mentor Bank is your resource for navigating the challenges your company faces:
Addressing Retention Issues:
Are you continually starting from square one because of high employee turnover? It has
been shown that mentoring increases employee retention by 17-23%, which saves you the
high cost of hiring and training new employees (“Making Mentoring Work,” Catalyst, 2010).
Bridging a Skills Gap:
Mentoring through The Mentor Bank is a flexible, affordable way for you to develop your
employees, preparing them to tackle new challenges. External mentoring demonstrates an
investment in your employees and is shown to be the number one driver of engagement
(employee growth opportunities) (Aon Hewitt Report, 2015).
Navigating Company Change:
Is your company expanding globally? Getting ready for its first merger? With The Mentor
Bank, your employees can talk to people who have been through the change you are
experiencing and get detailed feedback on what worked – and what didn’t – for them.
Adapting to Industry Change:
Whether it’s adapting to new technology or adjusting to global market shifts, the only
constant in some industries is change. Increase your employees’ responsiveness by
having them engage The Mentor Bank mentors who have seen it all and can offer them
the perspectives they need.
Preparing for the Talent Cliff:
It is imperative to groom younger talent to step into leadership roles that may be vacated by
retiring executives. Turn to The Mentor Bank to provide guidance on developing the diverse
skill set needed to make a seamless leadership transition.
The Mentor Bank is an alternative to traditional mentoring and provides your company with
a flexible, collaborative program custom designed to your employees’ specific challenges.

The Mentor Bank in Action
Mentoring Goal: Engagement & Retention
An industry-leading company is seeking to increase employee
engagement and retention through an internal mentoring program.
In building the program its developers realized they needed mentors
with more diverse backgrounds. Working with Patina, the company
added external mentors with more varied experiences to supplement
the existing program and increase effectiveness.
Mentoring Goal: Outside Perspective and Applied Learning
An organization with a group of long-tenured, mid-level leaders wanted
to promote innovative thinking within the team. With guidance from
the company and Patina, employees selected mentors who would
broaden their views. The mentoring experience created a buzz within
the team and expanded their perspectives outside of their current
four walls.
Mentoring Goal: “Tour of Duty” Exposure
A large company with a group of high-potential employees was
looking to invest in their learning and development. The organization
provided external mentors from across the functional spectrum,
which helped these key employees explore and understand their
career options within the company.
Headquartered in the U.S.
